Vintage Style Sheath Rivets

[i4Marc]

Anybody have any ideas where I could locate vintage style knife sheath rivets like those found on old Kabar sheaths?

Thanks, Count. Not exactly what I'm looking for but I may have to fall back on that if I can't find the right ones.

There's also heavy leather staples that were used on some WWII sheaths -

The rivet and burr type -

And then the ubiquitous pop rivet style that was common thin sheaths.

Also Rapid Rivets -

This is more what I'm looking for:

Maybe try searching "split rivets", you might find a something close or could be modified -

Have you checked knifekits.com?

I have been there a number of times but don't remember seeing anything like that, but then again I wasn't looking for that specifically at the time. I'll take another look.

I think "split rivets" is going to be the winner.

Thanks folks!
